Conditions met but order not being placed

[ShruggedAtlas]

All the conditions for this to take a position appear to have been met but strategy does not place the order.

close below prior low; swing low (10), average price, Minimum low (14) and MACD.diff is less than zero. All the same conditions were met on the last entry yet it will not take the next entry. Any thoughts on why this might be?

Here is entry code:

if ((Position.Quantity == 2700)
				 && (Close[0] < Low[1])
				 && (Close[0] < Swing1.SwingLow[0])
				 && (Close[0] < Position.AveragePrice)
				 && (Close[0] < MIN1[1])
				 && (MACD1.Diff[0] < 0))

Here is the definitions for the indicators:

else if (State == State.Configure)
			{
				//AddDataSeries("EURUSD", BarsPeriod.BarsPeriodType, 4 * BarsPeriod.Value, Data.MarketDataType.Last);
				AddDataSeries("EURUSD", Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 240, Data.MarketDataType.Last);
				AddDataSeries("EURUSD", Data.BarsPeriodType.Day, 1, Data.MarketDataType.Last);
				AddPlot(Brushes.Lime, "Average price"); //PLOTTING AVERAGE ENTRY PRICE
				//SetStopLoss(CalculationMode.Percent, 0.03);
			}
			else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
			{				
				RSI1				= RSI(Closes[1], Convert.ToInt32(RSI_Period), 2);
				RSI2				= RSI(Close, Convert.ToInt32(RSI_Period), 2);
				Swing1				= Swing(Close, 10);
				MIN1				= MIN(Low, 14); //minimum low last 14 bars
				EMA1				= EMA(Close, 55);
				ADX1				= ADX(Closes[0], 14);
				SMA1				= SMA(Close,200);
				MACD1				= MACD(Closes[0], 34, 55, 13);
				EMA2				= EMA(ADX1, 14);
			}

I also have these defined as well:

		private int Initial_Position_Size;
		private RSI RSI1;
		private RSI RSI2;
		private Swing Swing1;
		private MIN MIN1;
		private EMA EMA1;
		private ADX ADX1;
		private SMA SMA1;
		private MACD MACD1;
		private EMA EMA2;

Hello ShruggedAtlas,

Thanks for your post.

Have you confirmed that each condition for your entry is becoming true by adding debugging prints to your strategy? Adding prints will help to confirm if a) the conditions are becoming true, and b) if the order method is getting reached.

You may also wish to use TraceOrders to see if the order is getting submitted, accepted, working, and filled or if there was an issue somewhere with the order submission.

Finally, it is important to understand the Internal order Handling Rules that reduce unwanted positions in case the order submission is getting ignored.

I have the indicators the code references/uses on the chart so from that I don't understand why it's not taking the order but i'll experiment with some print statements to the log and see if I can figure it out.

The problem seems to be with the MACD.Diff part of the code. When I comment it out it properly takes the entry.

(MACD1.Diff[0] < 0)) //This should reference the 4hr bars

because of this code:
MACD1 = MACD(Closes[0], 34, 55, 13); // which references:

AddDataSeries("EURUSD", Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 240, Data.MarketDataType.Last); //4 hr bar
AddDataSeries("EURUSD", Data.BarsPeriodType.Day, 1, Data.MarketDataType.Last);

Do I have this understood?

Closes[0] references the first added data series (the 240 min)

Hello ShruggedAtlas,

Closes[0] represents the primary data series that the NinjaScript is applied to. Closes[1] will represent the first added data series.

The Multi Time Frame and Instruments section of the help guide explains how Price Data should be referenced in a Multi Bars script and provides a complete walk through for creating and using a Multi Series NinjaScript. I'll provide a link below.

I look forward to being of any further help.

Ok that may very well be the source of my problem then. I will confirm and report back
